Installing Samantha

This install is for samantha.mattrude.com installed on 22-Apirl-2007 with Fedora 6.

DHCP Server

For more information see: DHCP

First you will need to install the dhcp server via yum.

yum -y install dhcp.i386

Now make sure the dhcp server will start when the system boots up.

/sbin/chkconfig dhcpd on

And to make sure the previous commanded worked.

/sbin/chkconfig --list dhcpd

Next we need to build the /etc/dhcpd.conf file. Then 'head' of that file will look something like this.

allow bootp;
allow booting;
default-lease-time 108000;
max-lease-time 288000000;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.5;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.2, 209.98.98.98, 208.42.42.42;
option domain-name "mattrude.com";
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
option ip-forwarding off;
option nntp-server time.nist.gov;

Not all of these options are necessary. After you have the first part of the file done the next part is the per system static entry's mine look something like this.

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.30;
}

host Mythtv {
   hardware ethernet 00:16:76:28:08:99;
   fixed-address 192.168.1.3;
}

And thats it now lets start the dhcp server and try it out.

/sbin/service dhcpd start
